Once set up, it is possible to browse artists, search for a certain song, or artists and view any playlists.
The same works for any video file, apart from the file is opened in the phones web browsers rather than in the app.
Again, as with the desktop software, I’ve had trouble with streaming video files, but I think its down to my upstream at home not being good enough.
My only gripe with the android software over all is that it downloads a copy of the video or music file onto the SD card. So if you’re not careful, your SD card can fill up very quickly.
But for what the software does, I feel that its my top recommendation for music (and possibly video) streaming software available for use on any platform and for use with nearly any mobile device.
Thanks Jay – I'll give this ago myself!
Thanks. WIll try this today. How does this compare to Webguide and Twonky ?
Hi Shri,
It’s very similar to webguide but it can be tweaked to play nearly any file type.
Twonky works as a DLNA cserver, allowing DLNA compatable devices to stream music from your server, e.g. PS3, DLNA TV etc. Subsonic does not have that functionality so would have to be in conjunction with twonky.
Hello Dude,
You have provided very good site about streaming software. This software can be used to listen to streaming audio as well as serve streaming audio in various file formats. Thanks a lot…
